Tower Switch-Off Embarrasses Electrosensitives

Sockatume writes "Residents in Craigavon, South Africa complained of '[h]eadaches, nausea, tinnitus, dry burning itchy skins, gastric imbalances and totally disrupted sleep patterns' after an iBurst communications tower was put up in a local park. Symptoms subsided when the residents left the area, often to stay with family and thus evade their suffering. At a public meeting with the afflicted locals, the tower's owners pledged to switch off the mast immediately to assess whether it was responsible for their ailments. One problem: the mast had already been switched off for six weeks. Lawyers representing the locals say their case against iBurst will continue on other grounds."

I always thought "Disagree" was spelled "Overrated" in the /. mod system. At least, anytime someone wants to slap me with a "I disagree with your politics" mod, that's the one they use.

There isn't supposed to be a -1 Disagree mod on /., but apparently at least a few mods are doing precisely that.
